Project Overview - Chronoport

Chronoport is a 2.5D narrative episodic adventure set inside the diner of a time-travel airport. You play as PORTER, guiding travelers as they confront unresolved emotional “baggage.” The game is designed to help players build emotional courage and reflect on their own regrets through deeply human storytelling.

Chronoport is planned as a three-installment narrative series. We are currently in early preproduction of installment one.

Role: Lead Writer (Under the Narrative Director)

As Lead Writer, you will help define the emotional and thematic backbone of Chronoport. Working directly under the Narrative Director, you will translate high-level narrative direction into clear, compelling, and emotionally resonant writing. You will be responsible for drafting key scenes, character arcs, emotional beats, and worldbuilding elements that bring the diner-and its travelers-to life.

This role requires strong narrative instincts, collaborative discipline, and the ability to write with clarity, empathy, and thematic cohesion.
